Dr. NAACLS – Program Official Approval Forms

(Last Updated On: July 1, 2020)

Dear Dr. NAACLS,

I have just been hired by my institution as program director. The previous program director told me I need to reach out to NAACLS for approval. What documents do I need to submit to NAACLS, and how long will the process take?

Sincerely,

Mr. Jones

 

Mr. Jones,

First, allow NAACLS to congratulate you on your new position. To answer your question, a Program Director must be in place within 30 days of the previous Program Director’s departure. An email notification of the change in Program Director to NAACLS is sufficient, and NAACLS staff will provide you with the Program Official Approval Form. It is essential to review the checklist on page one, to ensure documents are submitted correctly, and within 30 days of contacting NAACLS. The materials that come from the applicant should be sent to Jessy Jasso, NAACLS Review liaison in one PDF e-file. The required supporting documents must come from a primary source (ASCP-BOC verification, transcripts, recommendation letters) and may be emailed separately to NAACLS. When all documentation is received, NAACLS will submit it to the reader pair (members of NAACLS review committees) for review. The reader pair will review the documentation and make a determination as to whether the candidate meets NAACLS’ requirements to serve as a program director. When a final determination has been made, NAACLS will notify you via email, which can take up to two (2) months.

We hope this helps you!

Dr. NAACLS
